14 months old... is my baby's speech developing properly? A fairly common concern among parents I'm sure!
So, to allay my fears, I'm listing out the words my baby can say - and let's see how I feel after that!
Baa baa (sheep)
Mum Mum (food, water, milk, biscuits)
Mummae (when she's very hungry in the middle of the night, asking specifically for milk)
Aatha (that's me!)
Appa (whispered usually)
Aaya (maternal grandma)
Iyya (grandpa)
Aathappa (no idea!)
Thathathae (no idea!)
Iyyappa (no idea - or maybe God?)
boo (for moo)
wow wow (dogs)
kkoo (bird)
ot ot (hot)
co (cold)
Be be (said once so far - for baby)
uck (once, for duck)
cow (once, for cow)
So what do you think - not too bad eh?
She understands a lot more than she speaks!
A real joy watching her grow!

I have to respond.
ReplyDeleteBaby is now 16 months old, and we've figured out what is Thathathae... it's possibly, Athitha, which is baby talk for... Akshaya!
Yes!
she's been saying her name since she was one year old but it took us 4 months to realize that!
Her vocabulary is growing daily by the way.
Now she can mimick the sound of a very small and very cute goat. a soft 'ma'
and she can say appatha! much to her grandmother's delight. She took to saying it non-stop for a whole day last week.
Her favourite people in the world, next to her mum and dad - her aaya, iyya and athai.
I love her so - I want to go home right now!
